The forgotten village

Quests - Two Worlds Game Guide

Web of fear

The forgotten village is a hidden location that doesn't show on the map (check the location on our world map). There's only one sub-quest in there. When you find the village, talk to the mayor. He won't be very talkative and clearly express his worries about your presence there. You can leave and let the village be, but on the other hand you can visit a hidden grove to the South (you can tell by some huge rocks with runes engraved on them) - when you go back to the village from there, you'll find it destroyed by giants. Well, not the most glorious of quests, we can tell.

The townspeople can be spared, but it is not as simple as just placing a couple teleports and killing some giants super fast. To be able to game this quest and spare the townspeople, first we need to understand how they die in the first place: any townsperson within the boundaries of the village dies automatically when you step into the giants fort and complete the quest. It does not matter how fast you are and certainly does not have anything to do with being faster than the giants. The giants do not kill these people, the game does; everyone within the village dies and then the giants in the same instant are added into the town.
"But I saw the giants killing people" you say? Yes, that is entirely possible if those people were a step or more outside the town boundaries at the time you completed the quest. Upon seeing the giants in the town they will draw their weapons and race into the town to fight the giants and inevitably get killed by them. By the time you get there, even if you had dropped a teleport stone there and get there super fast, you will see the villagers inside the village rather than outside.
The trick is to have all the villagers outside the village at the time you complete the quest. If you do not do this then they auto die and are not able to be saved. The easiest way to get them out of the village is to attack one of them, which will set them all of against you. Use a weak weapon so you don't splat the villager in one hit, and hit him. Now the entire town is against you. Run around the town getting close enough to each and every villager to set them off, draw their weapons, and start following you. At least one villager will be indoors, so if you want everyone to survive, don't forget him. If you get too far away from a villager they lose interest, so you can't go too fast and you need to keep them close. Lead them out of the village toward the giants fort, get them to go as far away from their own village as you possibly can. When you have them far enough away and are close enough to the giants' fort to complete the quest and teleport back into the village quickly, make the move and do it. When you get back to the village the giants will already be there as they appear instantly on quest completion. Kill the giants fast enough and none of the returning villagers will die. The villagers will likely get back before the giants are all dead, with their weapons drawn and attention fully on the giants. Once the giants are dead they will have no interest in fighting you anymore as the presence of the giants diverted their aggression. Do not expect any reward or any praise from the townspeople; no such thing is programmed into the game as you are not expected to be able to spare these villagers. They will treat you exactly the same as they did before, except for the mayor who when you go to speak to him the game will go to enter dialogue, but then exit out of it with no dialogue at all. Once you realize the villagers are jerks with or without the threat of giants, maybe you'll want to kill them yourself--I know I did.

and do you need to have a patch? because I have the game without patches and its impossible to save anyone, when I teleport there, some kind of wave (they just fall on the ground) kills evryone... :(

Actually you can drop a teley stone near the mayor and as soon as u kill the giant teleport back to the town and kill the 4 giants and u can save the towns people

I've been looking for wherever these things are i've stumbled across the forgotten village and all i can find is another town and bandits from the village entrance which way is it?

Again, why would someone avoid a quest, its a video game. Do everything possible, even more than the game was designed to accomplish. I throw down a teleport stone, go to the grove, kill the giant there, teleport back and kill the giants in the villiage. Then I loot everyone and ressurect everyone. Now the giants work for the people they once terrorized, if u choose to see it that way. Actually, they all work for you, and giants too

And when you return to the forgotten village, the townfolk will all be dead and a band of giants will be roaming about. If you don't like that ending then avoid the fort just like they asked.

This quest actually has a proper ending. To the west of the forgotten village (see actual directions below) lies a fort with a single giant guarding it. Either meeting the giant or defeating it (I forget which) successfully wraps up the quest (you get 500 experience points).
Directions to the fort: follow the red road (i.e. it appears red on the game map) south. You will soon come to a junction with a road that tracks to the north-west. Follow it. The first branch to the right leads to the fort.
